When his entire existence in this subreddit is mostly just him inciting and arguing to the point his overall account comment karma is -100 almost purely from r/firefighting, it feels like he's pretty well past being in compliance with rule #2, at least to me lol.

Specifically when it's almost all oriented only around specific subjects that just happen to be politically oriented. I've seen people warned in the past for simply borderline pure passive aggressive comments, but this guy just seems to get a free pass to say the dumbest and most ignorant stuff seemingly for no intention other than to get a rise out of people.

We can't go solely on karma either, especially when it comes to politics because of the block downvoting that occurs. Someone says they like the wrong politician in the wrong subreddit, and it's an instant -50 karma bomb for them. And as far as "dumb and ignorant" goes, I could pick out dozens of comments (from this post alone) from people on both sides that fit that description.

If people are trolling, report it. That's what the report feature is for, but if you've been flaming them in return, or provoking it, don't complain when your stuff gets blasted too.

If you have evidence of someone engaging in "stolen valor", impersonating a firefighter, etc use the report function or contact the mod team directly via modmail.
